Summary: High entropy electrode materials have gained considerable attention for their remarkable structural stability during cycling, resulting in exceptionally long cycle life. However, the traditional equimolar strategy is not suitable for electrode materials when high capacity is desired. In this study, a LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 cathode with high stability and long cycle life was successfully prepared using a multiple-element doping strategy (medium entropy). The co-doped LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 exhibited a disordered structure with improved Li+ ion diffusivity, leading to better rate performance. Due to the better structure and interface stability, the co-doped LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 showed excellent cycle stability with 92% capacity retention after 500 cycles at 1 C rate. Moreover, the specific capacity of the medium entropy sample even increased, highlighting the advantage of the medium entropy strategy in electrode materials.

Summary: The LiNi0.5-xZnxMn1.48Y0.02O4 (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05) series were prepared via a sol-gel method to improve the electrochemical performance of the LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) sample. The Zn-Y co-doping led to increased lattice parameters, morphological evolution, decreased Mn3+ content, and better electrochemical properties compared to the pristine LNMO. Among the samples, LiNi0.47Zn0.03Mn1.48Y0.02O4 (0.03ZnY) showed optimal electrochemical properties at room temperature and elevated temperature, with a higher discharge capacity and capacity retention than the pristine sample.

Summary: High-voltage LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 spinel material suffers from capacity fading in full cells due to consumption of Li+, dissolution of transition metal ions, and deposition on carbon anode. Coating MCMB particles and LNMO cathode with Al2O3 through hydrolysis reaction improves cycling performance, suppresses electrolyte decomposition, and reduces consumption of Li+ ions. Al2O3 coating on cathode side alleviates interfacial reaction and dissolution of transition metal ions, while on anode side it stabilizes SEI and scavenges HF.

Summary: In this paper, an innovative method of in situ coating of AlPO4 was proposed to reduce the corrosion of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 by an electrolyte, which effectively improved the high-temperature cycling performance of the electrode. The effects of AlPO4 coating with different mass fractions on the structure, morphology, and electrochemical properties of LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 were investigated. It was found that each coating amount had no obvious effect on the spinel structure of the material. When the coating content was 1.0%, the sample exhibited higher capacity, better rate performance, and excellent cycle stability at a high temperature (55 degrees C).

Summary: This work proposes a facile covalent self-assemble strategy to prepare the ZrN@rGO composite for enhanced LIB. The results show that a strong Zr-C covalent bond is formed between ZrN and rGO, and electron transfer promotes charge density at the ZrN@rGO heterointerface. The volume change of ZrN can be effectively alleviated by coupling with rGO, leading to a high specific capacity in the lithium-ion battery.

Summary: This paper explores how Chinese airlines started and participated in labor charter operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study analyzes the evolutionary patterns of the charter route network and identifies three main findings. Firstly, private airlines were more active in charter operations during the earlier period. Secondly, labor charter operations represent a newly appeared aviation-government-industry cooperative business model. Lastly, there was a spread, change, and shift of both charter flows and charter passengers during the study period. The research provides valuable insights into the role of charter flights in China during the pandemic and contributes to the theory and practice of aviation resilience.

Summary: Due to their remarkable mechanical, thermal and chemical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have gained significant attention in improving the performance of thin-film composite membranes. However, few studies have discussed the contribution of CNT nanochannels to enhanced permeability. In this study, carboxylated-SWCNTs were inserted into DOPC liposomes to create CNT-DOPC liposomes, which functioned as water channels. These CNT-DOPC liposomes were then incorporated into a polyamide layer, resulting in thin-film nanocomposite membranes. The results showed that CNT-liposomes had a 10-fold higher water permeability compared to pure DOPC-liposomes, leading to a 71.4% enhancement in water flux compared to TFC membranes and a 25.6% increase (induced by CNT nanochannels) compared to DOPC-liposomes incorporated membranes.
